Services
Intensive / crash driving courses are becoming more popular. Many people need to obtain their driving licence in a shorter period of time. Others have very busy schedules, and find it easier to fit in driving lessons when they have holidays from work. Whatever your circumstances we can provide an intensive driving course to suit your situation.
We offer driving lessons in all areas between the hours of 0800 and 2100. It is recommended to do at least a 90 minute lesson each week. Doing so will help you to learn quicker and pass the test sooner saving you a considerable amount of money overall. Please note: We do not charge different rates for different areas like other driving schools.
Automatic cars always carried the tag of being 'slow and thirsty'. For the most part this was true. Nowadays, the most efficient cars, including all hybrid cars, use automatic gearboxes exclusively. As you can see there are many positives to choosing to learn to drive in an automatic car. If you want your driving licence quickly for any reason then learning in an automatic should be given serious consideration.

Steve was a great driving instructor. He was patient and made me feel comfortable and motivated whilst driving. He made the 40 hour intensive course enjoyable with his great sense of humour, communication skills and empathy. Today I passed first time and cannot thank Steve enough for this distinctive driving experience which I am lucky to have had.

Sean is a brilliant instructor. I didn’t even read the reviews before acquiring his driving services. But I realized quickly that his advice was very helpful and I improved at every lesson. Being an American driver I also lacked confidence on the narrow confusing roads here but Sean explained everything clearly and calmly and told me I was ready after about 5 lessons. His lessons were exactly what I needed to learn and just after a month of lessons (once a week) I took the test and passed with three minor faults. (Anyone who knows me and my lack of driving skills knows this is nothing short of

After having a bad driving instructor first time around who I wasted lots of time with and subsequently failed my first test, after being completely put off I decided to start learning again after a 5 year break. Within 5 months with Sean I passed my second test with three minors! He is great for nervous drivers, he is clear, calm, professional, reliable and just fantastic. He adapts to your specific needs, and he was great at reassuring my nerves on the day of my test too. Couldn’t have done it without him!

If you are planing to get an automatic license we must contact Kieran before any one else, he is the very best driving instructor I ever seen
I took with him like 7 lessons (within 2-3 week time) and passed with only one ridiculous minor (stupid fault I did), he teaches what you need to pass your test from first time, trust him and you will pass easily
he is perfect with extensive teaching especially with foreigners and people who drove with their rules for long time and you will like the lessons with him, he is a very nice guy, if we like to chat he will talk if you will just to drive with no

Great experience! Just passed my test with 4 minor faults after a 25 hours course all thanks to my instructor Steve.
Steve made the whole experience really enjoyable and made sure I was confident with my own ability, so I was able to go into the test as relaxed as possible. Couldn’t recommend enough!

As a nervous and not confident learner driver I never thought I'd see driving as anything more than a necessity. Thanks to Sean I didn't only pass my test, but I am able to say that I enjoy driving, something I'd never expected to be the case.
The lessons were done in a professional, structured and logical manner, completely tailored to your needs, and in a friendly environment. Highly recommended!

Sean is a brilliant driving instructor! Extremely professional and thorough in his teaching. He doesn't take you to the nearest lay-by and give you an hour-long theory lesson like most of the cowboys out there. He gets you out on the road and quickly gets you very competent as a driver.
Very competitive prices too. Certainly the best instructor I found in Edinburgh & more importantly, Sean's teaching earned me my PASS! :)
